Add-ons Review Update – Week of 2011/07/19

I post these updates every 2 weeks to inform add-on developers about the status of the review queues, add-on compatibility, and other relevant happenings in the add-ons world.

Summary

Nominations for full review at the moment are being processed slower than usual. Nominations are currently taking about 3 weeks to review.

Most updates are being reviewed within 5 days.

Most preliminary reviews are being reviewed within 10 days.

We posted a call for new reviewers on our blog recently and many new reviewers have already joined our team and helped us cut down review times drastically. Just look at earlier reports for comparison. If you’re interested, please read on how to apply.

Our goal is to reduce all of them to less than 10 days; ideally it should be less than 5 days for all, but that’s wishful thinking. We don’t have a deadline for any of this given that things are changing so quickly around us that it’s actually surprising that we have been able to keep up. We’re always looking for new solutions to these problems, and there are a few improvements coming in the future that will hopefully help cut down waiting times.
